sULLIvAN'S DOWNFALL.

Jno. l.. Sullivan has refused tc
accept Kilrain's challenge to fight
to a finish for $4,000 and the cham
pionship, and it is the belief thai
Jno. L. Sullivan will soon cease to
be the champion of the American
prize ring
Sullivan would have jumped at
Kilrain's offer if he had thought
that he could whip him, and his
refusal to fight is evidence that he
considers Kilrain too good for him
in his present condition. 1t will
be remembered that in his last
fight he broke his arm. Tom Say
res met with a similar accident and
Jack Dempsey was crippled the
same way during his last battle.
Sayres' arm never got so strong
that he had any confidence in it,
and it is likely that Sullivan and
Dempsey will never be able to fight
to finish again, though they may
be able to do a good deal of exhib-
ition work. 1t was through the
practice of trick of his own that
Sullivan's arm was broken, and
Dempsey, who learned the trick
from him, suffered from the same
cause. Sullivan found that while
he could not hurt man very much
with soft gloves, he could do much
injury by throwing his wrist across
his opponents face and wrist. All
of Sullivan's competitors from
Mitchell down, found they had
more to fear from his arm than
from his glove. Both Sullivan and
Dempsey have now learned the
superior merit of good, square
blows with the fist.
Pat Coyle, who has been a good
man in his time, says that he re-
CARDS this as the close of Sullivan,s
career: "He will never fight in
earnest again. His plan is to give
Ill the exhibitions he can and then
70 to England, and so long as he

BALLOON ADVENTURES.

The descent of a balloon in re-
mote backwoods settlement is al
most invariably productive of
amusing incidents Landing once
in mountainous district inS the
state of Georgia, writes King, the
mronaut, my companion and my
self were astonished at hearing loud
shrieks and EXPLANATIONS issuing
from q house near by, while in the
doorway we saw an old lady upon
her knees, praying with great vocif-
Grafton. The whole neighborhood
had been aroused, and an earth
quake could not have created great
er commotion. In the woods, not
far from our landing place, we
found bag Of meal lying in the
path, 1t had been dropped by some
panic-stricken native. Further on,
"A fishing party had abandoned sew
eral strings of fish. Our comedy
came measurably near ending in a
tragedy, for we had a narrow escape
from the shot guns of gang of
illicit distillers, who took us to be
revenue officers. On the occasion
of recent descent in Southern Vir-
ginia, a devout colored woman,
catching sight of the balloon, gazed
upon it in rapt admiration, exclaim-
ing, "Dar comes my blessed Jesus
walking on de clouds! | take my
chillen out on de public road
6uffin gwine to happenl Hallelu-
jail" and she went on shouting till
the truth was explained to her.
Another negro, hearing me call to
him, started off at full speed, cry
ing as he ran, "GabriePs done call
ed me, hear him boiler !" Very
amusing was the experience of
Elliot, in one of his descents. He
had assembled from Charlestown, on
a summer afternoon and was car
ried slowly down the harbor, land
ing at last, just at nightfall, on one
of the islands. There was to be a
wake that night, and the dead ne
gro, Dick by name, lay in cabin,
while dozen live ones sat outside
telling stories, when Elliot dropped
down in front of them. There was
2 yell, scramble, and in moment
gil but one had disappeared; he had
been caught by the @ronaut's an
Choir, and dragged some distance,
screaming pitcously: ooh, Massa
Debil! Massa Debil! Use not the !
Use not de niggar! Dicks
in dab! Dicks in dahW

has resigned the belt to Kilrain, he
is the man to be challenged. You
can bet that Kilrain and Fox knew
what they were about when they
put up that $1,000 for the cham
pionship. am very sorry for poor
Dempsey, and don't think he will
ever fight again, and that only
leaves Kilrain, Mitchell and Burke,
with their standing about as name
them"
Mike Smith thought that Sulli-
van did not want to take any
chances with Kilrain. ''He would
not back down if he had any show"
said Mike, "and he is right to stop
now that he has fears of his arm.
If his arm is weak he would be
very foolish to take the risk of be-
ing made a cripple for life, and it
will be good time for him to re-
tire. There is no one to bother
Kilrain but Jack Dempsey, and he
won't be able to fight for long
time, if ever. | don't believe that
Jack Kilrian would have made the
offer if he had not been sure that
Sullivin was worse hurt than he
pretended to be-"
Sullivan has the following to say:
81 will not fight Kilrain or any one
else at present. My arm is all
right and expect to go to Aus
tralia in October I'll make
Kilrain a present of the champion
ship if he wants it, and then he
can wear the dog collar belt as long
as he wants to."

Saint Paul Ice Palace.

SAINT PAUL. November 21.-The Carni-
val association has decided on the plan
for the ice palace for 1888. The palace
will represent Norman palace, the main
tower of which will be 125 feet high. At
each of the four angles of the structure
will be another tower Sc feet in height
and the main entrance will be an arch 90
feet In diameter. The walls surrounding
the palace will be surmounted by smaller
towers and pinnacles and conspicuous in
the lower niche, midway between the
main tower and the entrance, will be the
gigantic figure Of polar bear. Other
inches in the front of the palace will be
occupied by figures representing curriers',
skaters, snow shoers and tobogganers.
The entire structure will cover an area of
1872 square feet, which viii make it tri-
file smaller than the last palace, but the
new one will be more elaborate in design
and finish.

Barnum Burned Out.

BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut, November
22.The main building of Barnum & Bai-
ley's Greatest Show on Earth" was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday morning. About
1890 an alarm was sounded and in less
than thirty minutes the building, which
was 600 by 200 feet and two stories high,
was entirely consumed. The fire origina-
ted in the horse building among the hay
and straw. Before the first alarm had
ceased sounding, the whole building was
enveloped in flames, and no one dared APP
proach it, being fearful of the crazed an
imals. Three elephants were burned and
three broke from their fastenings and
dashed through the sides of the burning
structure, roaring and trumpeting in ter
rife manner. Six elephants and large
African hippopo rushed about the
streets presenting q sickening appearance.
Their sides were burned and great pieces
of flesh, a foot square, fell OF. Thirty eli
ephants and large lion have started
across .he country toWard Fairfield and
Easton. Great excitement had seized
many residents, and they barrel the win-
dows and doors of their houses. In the
horse room were all the ring animals,
trained stallions, ponies, etc, and all were

burned. In the call room were the birds,
monkeys, rhinosceroses, hyenas, tigers,
lions and menagerie, which also fell a
prey to the flames A great deal of valu-
ahie tent and other property was also burn
ed. The total less is estimated at not less
than 100000 and with but 100000 in
surance.
It is now learned that the watchman
discoved the FIRE while making his rounds
and started to give the alarm, when some
unknown person hit him on the head with
some blunt instrument. One of the three
elephants burnd was the 'ssacred white
elephant" The lion which escaped from
the place at the time the fire broke out
was later found in barn, where it had
killed and was devouring COW. He was
shot.

AN AWFUL sHIPWRECK.
The Steamer W. A. seholten Sinks
With 230 People on Board-Enor-
nous Loss of Life.

LONDON, November 22.-The Dutch
steamer w. A. Scholten, captain Taat,
which left Rotterdam, Saturday for New
York was sunk at II o'clock Sunday
night, by collision with the steamer
Rosa Mary of Hartlepool, 10 miles off
Dover. The Scholten carried compile
ment Of $50 passengers and crew. The
steamer Elbro of Sunderland, rescued so
of the crew and passengers and landed
them at Dover. One hundred and forty
of the passengers are missing. The Schol
ten was struck on the port bow by the
Rosa Mary. The moment the shock was
felt the Scholten's passengers, all of
whom had retired for the night, rushed
on deck in their nightgowns. Boats were
promptly lowered, but it was found only
two were available. Three others were
useless and were not lowered. The water
rushed swiftly through a hole in the bow
and a terrible scene ensued. The panic
stricken passengers uttered piercing
shrieks, and many fell upon their knees
and prayed aloud. Little children clung
to their mothers, who, themselves, were
shrieking in terror. The officers were
cool and self-possessed and remained on
the bridge to the last. Several persons
procured life belts and jumped into
tbs sea. Within 20 minute of the shock
the Scholtsn was engulfed. All those
who had put ON life belts foated and
were rescued by boats from the steamer
Elro. Captain Taat went down with the
scholten. Dir. Appleby, passenger,
says, "When the boats were lowered there
was rush to get into them. tried to
but did not stand chance. Then con-
cluded to trust myself to life belt. The
scene on the deck was appalling. Passen
gers and crew were crowded together and
the shrieks of the women, the cries of
children and the shouts Of men were
frightful. Some of the passengers were
on their knees praying. When the Schol-
ten sank beneath their feet there was a
struggle in the water; most of US had life
belts. Sarah Gold, Stephen Robson and
kept together. We clung to each other
and drifted toward the Elro, finally reach
ing that vessel.n The captain was last
seen at his post trying to quiet the pas
sengers and get the boats off. The latest
estimate is that 132 persons are drowned
or missing.

doubt that the conditions are all favorable
for raising crops of wheat, oats and barley
without irrigation. Spring wheat can be
soweu late in the fall or the latter part of
February or first of March, and before
the dry or chinook winds of August oc-
cur, it will be sure to mature. I am will
ling to back my assertion and judgment
as to wheat growing on these bench lands
without irrigation, by money, and if Wool
Growers editor will stake something be-
side his s.reputation," | will make test
of forty or eighty acres in wheat for four
years, on the bench land say within three
miles of his sheep ranch at Nine Mile
coulee, or the same number of acres with
in three miles of his sheep ranch on Belt
creek, and will undertake to raise, in
three years out of four consecutive years
q larger crop of wheat to the acre, than
the average crop grown in the best wheat
county of Minnesota for the same years.
raised a fine crop of hard wheat on the
bench land this year, as the millers will
confirm, and i have one hundred acres
ready for seeding early next spring. In
my judgment there is going to be
great change of opinion in this section as
to bench land farming, and it is almost
sure thing that editor Peck's magnificent
sheep range, which extends from Benton
beyend the Belt, distance of thirty miles
will become badly cut up by farms whose
occupants will combine grain growing and
stock raising with profit. Let us see what
times verdict will be.
